Real life pac man!!



This is an interesting tid bit i found. somone has programmed a buch of roombas to play out an actual pacman game. whatever is done on the computer screen is performed by the roombas on a floor. The floor itself has tape down so that people know where the borders are. its really cool because they even have it where pac man can eat the ghosts or it can die from the ghosts! As a fan of pac man i find this to be extremely awsome!!! lemme know what you think!

The site i found this on is here if you want to know more about this http://gizmodo.com/5400338/video-hacked-roombas-used-to-play-pac%20man-finally

  2. That's freakin' awesome!!!! I also read something an interesting article about robots that have learned to lie. They have these robots that seek out "food" and when they get to food they display a blue light and all the other robots come running. Well, the researchers have found that these robots will find the 'food' and go off a distance, then display their blue lights leading the other robots out of the way so he can enjoy his meal in peace...

  3. That it pretty awesome, its crazy the things that robots can do now-a-days. This reminds me of a video I saw the other day, just a lottt less creepy. Check out this new military robot that some corporation designed and built, I will warn you it will make you think.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1czBcnX1Ww

  5. This was a pretty cool video. These kids must of put a lot of time into this because the programming of all these robots must take significant time. I thought it was cool that they robots don't actually follow the tape of the floor, but they actually stay within the lines.
